It’s Part 2 of how to fix your life with hobbies! Pretty much. Journalist/author of “The Connection Cure” Julia Hotz explains the science behind forest bathing, how privilege affects accessibility to hobbies and what to do about it, how to figure out what lights you up, how to schedule time for hobbies if you have no time to do hobbies, why I used to call my old job at newspaper Club Karoshi, what if social interaction gives you the willies, what if depression keeps you from doing the things that lift depression, being social without having to spend money or get wasted, why volunteering is such an antidepressant, why rehabs use social prescribing, if protesting is a good hobby, and why you should go take a walk. Also: did I go to the ukulele meeting or chicken out?Listen to Part 1 <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/salugenology">here</a>Visit Julia’s <a href="https://www.hotzthoughts.com/" target="_blank">website</a> and follow her on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/hotzthoughts/" target="_blank">Instagram</a>, <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@hotzthoughts" target="_blank">TikTok</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGe2M2_CedbeQzciUCx1BKw" target="_blank">YouTube</a>, and <a href="https://hotzthoughts.substack.com/" target="_blank">Substack</a>Buy her book <a href="https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/The-Connection-Cure/Julia-Hotz/9781668030332" target="_blank">The Connection Cure: The Prescriptive Power of Movement, Nature, Art, Service, and Belonging</a>A donation went to <a href="https://www.grownyc.org/" target="_blank">GrowNYC</a><a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/salugenology">More episode sources and links</a><a href="https://pod.link/1746567248">Smologies (short, classroom-safe) episodes</a>Other episodes you may enjoy: <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/dolorology">Dolorology (PAIN)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/eudemonology">Eudemonology (HAPPINESS)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/criticalecology">Critical Ecology (SOCIAL SYSTEMS + ENVIRONMENT)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/postviralepidemiology">Post-Viral Epidemiology (LONG COVID)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/disabilitysociology">Disability Sociology (DISABILITY PRIDE)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/ergopathology">Ergopathology (BURNOUT)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/biogerontology">Biogerontology (AGING)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/canistrumology">Canistrumology (BASKET WEAVING)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/domesticphytology">Domestic Phytology (HOUSEPLANTS)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/ethnoecology">Ethnoecology (ETHNOBOTANY/NATIVE PLANTS)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/2018/5/7/wdppyiv1wrcs8gchoslvhhuuboanau">Dendrology (TREES)</a><a href="https://alieward.com/ologies-sponsors">Sponsors of Ologies</a><a href="https://alieward.com/ologies-extras">Transcripts and bleeped episodes</a><a href="https://www.patreon.com/ologies" target="_blank">Become a patron of Ologies</a> for as little as a buck a month<a href="https://www.ologiesmerch.com/" target="_blank">OlogiesMerch.com</a> has hats, shirts, hoodies, totes!Follow Ologies on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ologies" target="_blank">Instagram</a> and <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/ologies.bsky.social" target="_blank">Bluesky</a>Follow Alie Ward on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/alieward" target="_blank">Instagram</a> and <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@alie_ologies" target="_blank">TikTok</a>Editing by Mercedes Maitland of <a href="http://maitlandaudio.com/" target="_blank">Maitland Audio Productions</a> and <a href="https://www.jecmusic.com/" target="_blank">Jake Chaffee</a>Managing Director: Susan HaleScheduling Producer: Noel DilworthTranscripts by Aveline Malek Website by <a href="https://www.kellyrdwyer.com/photo" target="_blank">Kelly R.
